E-cigarette vapour does not damage DNA, even at doses 28 times that of equivalent smoke exposure. Scientists at British American Tobacco used lab-based cellular tests to examine the impact of cigarette smoke and Vype e-cigarette vapour on human lung cel

"Smokers who receive test results that indicate that they are at increased risk for lung cancer do not usually stop smoking," Daly said by email. "It may be that the risks associated with these tests are not high enough to result in any behavior changes,

Andrew Lane, co-senior author of the study, said: “Across virtually every type of cancer, occurrence rates are higher in males than in females. In some cases, the difference might be very small - just a few percent - but in certain cancers, incidence is

Females, it turns out, carry an extra copy of certain protective genes in their cells - an additional line of defense against the cells growing out of control - the investigators report in a paper published online by Nature Genetics. Though not solely re

The idea is that genetic findings of lower risk for anything might de-motivate individuals from good health habits...smokers who learned they were at lower genetic risk for smoking-related diseases might be less inclined to quit.

"In the US, lung cancer in never-smokers is now considered the 6th most common cause of cancer deaths. While in India, we do not have any such consolidated estimates. In recent years, doctors have witnessed an increasing number of cases in which the pati

New research shows that people can minimize an inherited risk for heart attack by living right -- exercising, eating healthy, staying slim and quitting smoking. Even with a little effort in these areas, people can cut their high genetic risk of heart di

A new analysis of data from more than 55,000 people provides an answer. It finds that by living right — by not smoking... Meanwhile, the new study shows a new way to think about genes and lifestyle, researchers say....“If you are dealt a bad hand, there

This study has investigated the mutagenic potential of a commercially available e-cigarette (Vype® ePen, Nicoventures, UK), compared to reference cigarette smoke (3R4F), in tester strains TA98 and TA100 using two different exposure scenarios. Firstly, pa
